The CMSC is the only North American conference dedicated solely to users of portable, high-precision measurement technology used to inspect manufactured and assembled components on the factory floor.

The organization welcomes abstracts for presentations and technical papers submitted by metrology professionals from manufacturers, science laboratories, and academia. Suggested topics include industry best practices, scientific research and developments, and successful applications of 3-D coordinate measurement systems. At the 2011 CMSC, 26 presentations were delivered by industry leaders and educational institutions covering technology, theory, and practice to advance the field of 3-D metrology.

Abstract submissions will be peer-reviewed by the CMS and considered for presentation at CMSC 2012.

The 58-page report entitled “How Behavior Impacts Your Measurement” focuses on measurement strategies and behaviors of coordinate metrologists. More than 100 conference attendees participated in the data collection activity coordinated by the National Physical Laboratory (UK) assisted by members of the CMS Certification Committee. Metrology is the science of measurement, and professionals in this field work in diverse industries such as aerospace, automotive, power generation, and more. The full report can be downloaded here.

(CMSC: Benbrook, TX) -- The Coordinate Metrology Society announced that its annual Coordinate Metrology Systems Conference (CMSC) 2011 attracted more than 400 professionals in the precision 3-D measurement and inspection field. Manufacturers, engineers, scientists, quality control specialists, metrologists, educators, and students attended the weeklong event. The 27th gathering of the organization was held in late July at the Arizona Biltmore in Phoenix. CMSC members are professional and novice users, service providers, and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) of close-tolerance industrial coordinate measurement systems, software, and peripherals.

(CMSC: Benbrook, TX) -- The Coordinate Metrology Society (CMS) has announced its final schedule of events for the 27th annual Coordinate Metrology Systems Conference (CMSC) scheduled for July 25–29, 2011, at the Arizona Biltmore Hotel and Spa in Phoenix, Arizona. The conference will kick off with its customary ice-breaker event for all attendees and exhibitors on Monday evening, July 25. This popular, social networking event is co-sponsored by Hexagon Metrology and the CMS.

On Wednesday morning, July 27, the CMS will host a 5 Billion Micron Fun Run/Walk. Attendees should bring their running shoes. Water and T-shirts will be provided for all participants by sponsor InnovMetric. Technical paper presentations and workshops will be held during the day on Tuesday through Thursday.

(CMSC: Benbrook, TX) -- The Coordinate Metrology Society (CMS) announced it will conduct a large-scale, interactive measurement study during the 27th annual Coordinate Metrology Systems Conference (CMSC), July 25–29, 2011, at the Arizona Biltmore Hotel and Spa in Phoenix, Arizona. The study entitled, “How Behaviors Impact Your Measurement,” will be coordinated by the National Physical Laboratory (UK), and assisted by members of the CMS Certification Committee. All attendees will be encouraged to participate in daily data collection activity, which will provide hands-on experience with large volume measurement systems.

Participants will perform a series of prescribed measurements using measurement systems provided by ATT Metrology Service, a subsidiary of study sponsor Metrologic Group. Each participant will be asked to provide information on their level of experience and background in metrology. The purpose of the workshop is to explore the measurement strategies and behaviors of coordinate metrologists.
